CANDY-MOLD.

Application filed January 29, 1919.

"To all wh om it'mag/ concern:

Be it known that I, IsAAo CoHN, a citizen of the United States, residing in the borough of'Brooklyn, in the county of Kings and State of New York, have invented certain new-and useful Improvements in Candy- Molds; and I do hereby declare the followin'gto be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention, such aswill enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the same.

This invention relates to molds, and particularly to sectional molds for casting or forming blocks or pieces-of rectilinear form, although, obviously, the shape may be variously preferred.

Particularly the invention relates to the art of molding candy, and especially the hard candies, and in'the accompanying disclosure the candy is referred to as being cast in rectilinear blocks of any size, and the invention therefore resides in the provision of a mold by which this type of candy can be efficiently molded and easily removed from the molds when it has hardened, one of the objects being to reduce or eliminate the percentage of waste product owing to fracture or breakage of the rectilinear blocks while being removed from molds of various well known types.

It is another object of the present invention to provide a mold for facilitating the economical casting and removing of rectilinear blocks, which mold will [be of simple, practicable, substantial, durable and inexpensive character, and which may be operated or used in the process of casting the pieces by inexpert persons and yet will produce a maximum acceptable quantity of roduct. I

With this and such other objects in view as will be rendered manifest to those versed in the art, the invention consists in the construction, combination, and in details and arrangements of the parts as are more particularly described in the following specification with relation to the embodiment of the invention described herein and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, in which;

Figure 1 is a perspective view of the complete and assembled mold, showing the cast in site,-

proportions and preferred configuration, as determined by the shape and size of the cast to be'produoed. A particular feature of my present invention resides in the construction of this mold in such manner as to: facilitate the separation of the mold sections 2 and 3, with the object of reducing or eliminating wastage by the fracture or chipping or cracking of the casts, which in the. present instance are shown in the form of rectilinear blocks; and inorder to achieve this function each of the mold sections Qand 3, which are in the form of elongated, longitudinal side members, is provided with a series of transversely extending walls or partitions t, here shown as being of a depth equal to the height of thewall or mold' section :2, while the oppositebr companion section 3 is similarly. rovided' with a series of transversely exten ing partitions or walls 5, equal in depth to the walls 4; but, as is clearly shown,

the walls 4 and the walls 5 are offset or staggered with relation to each other on their respective sections 2 and 3, the widths of the walls 4' and 5 being in the present illustration equal to each other, so that the ends of the walls are designed to come into close juxtaposition to the adjacent surface of the opposite mold member or section when these parts are assembled. The result is that each of the walls or partitions 4 and 5 forms an inner end of an adjacent pocket when the mold is assembled as in Fig. 1, and there: fore after the material has been poured and the cast has set or hardened, then by laterally separating the mold sections 2 and 3, as clearly shown in Fig. 2, while certain of the casts or blocks of candy in the present adaptation and illustrated at B, may adhere to the contiguous walls and the ocket on one of the sections in which it might have been cast, yet the block B can be readily removed without fracture or destruction because it is designed to have movement longitudinally of the mold section 2 or 3 as well as laterally from the moldsection, for the reason that each of the lugs e or 5' when the sections are separated leaves a space, as indicated at S, Fig. 2,-bet-Ween contiguousends of a pair of blocks B when theseadhere in the positions shown in Fig. 2.

Any suitable means may be utilizedto de'-' fine the relative position of the mold sections 2 and 3, either extraneous or inherent to the molds, and in the present case I have shown the ends of the section 2 as slightly rabbeted, as at2, vertically on its inner end faces, while the end lugs or partitions 3. are slightly greater in length than the lengths of the intermediate and staggered lugs or partitions 1-5, so that they will mortise into the rabbets 2', and these will serve to prevent the longitudinal movement of the sections one with respect tothe other when these are assembled, as for instance, upon the top plane surface of a bench or other support. It will be observed that these mold sections have neither tops nor bottomsfor the pockets, thereby giving free access to theupper and lower ends of those blocks of candy or other material'which may be cast, whichadhere to theirtadjacent seats on one or the other of the mold sections.

I claim:

1. A mold comprising a pair of longitudinal sections, means for coordinating the sections in respective operative position; and -means arranged alternately on the pocket faces of the sections to form mold pockets between the sections, said means each forming one end wall of a pocket.

2. A mold comprising a pair of longitudinal sections, means for coordinating the sections in respective operative position; and

means arranged alternately on the pocket faces of the sections to form mold pockets between the sections, said means each forming one end 'wall of' a pocket, whereby when the sections are laterally separated the cast may be shifted endwise of the mold as Well as laterally therefrom.

3..A mold comprising a pair of longitudinal sections each having on the pocket faces partitions staggered with respect to those of the other so that the portions'form with their sections complementary L-shaped pocket walls. 7

4. A mold comprising a pair of longitudinal mold sections, means for defining their casting position, and transverse partitions on the pocket faces of the sections the partitions being staggered with respect to each other so that when the sections are laterally separated the cast is free to be moved laterally or longitudinally from the section to which it may adhere.

5. A mold comprising ,a pair of longitudinal, laterally separable sections each having transverse partitions which are relatively staggered on the sections so that each partition forms the end of an adjacent' pocket when the sectionsare assembled.

6. .A' mold comprising a pair of longitudinal, laterally separable sections each having transverse partitions of equal length which. are relatively staggered on the sec tions so that each partition forms the end of an adjacent pocket when the sections are assembled. v

In testimony whereofI ,aflix my signature.
